Apple May Be Planning Two iPhone 5 Models

Apple may be planning to release two iPhone 5 models this fall, according to the iPhoneDownloadBlog.

The site has heard from an employee of an Apple parts supplier who believes Apple is planning to build a 'normal' and a 'pro' version of the iPhone 5.

Our source says that Apple is ordering components of similar function, but some of them are the very best of what you can get right now. While the rest of the ordered components are just the standard versions, Apple is also ordering better quality components of the same function. Our source says that both types of components wouldn't go in one device together, which makes him believe Apple is up to something with a 'pro' version.

Recently reports suggest that Apple could be working on a cheaper and perhaps smaller iPhone. In February Tim Cook fueled rumors by saying Apple is doing "clever things" to attack the prepaid market, because he wants Apple to be "for everyone," not "just for the rich." Cook also said he recognizes "price is big factor in the prepaid market," but Apple is not "ceding any market."
